    Delay Repay

    As a matter of principle, will TOCs pay out if the tickets have been bought through the likes of Trainline or a split ticketing agent? Sorry if this has been asked before?

    Window seats with plug points on Voyagers

    If I am lucky enough to get a standard class Window seat on a Cross Country Voyager Advance ticket, will I get a plug point? And what's the difference when booking between the Window and Window View option?

    Disabled Rail Card - 2nd person

    With this, the carer also gets the discount. When using journey planners does the 2nd passenger claim Disabled as well or are the systems clever enough to give 2 discounts for 1 railcard?

    Gremlins with National Rail Journey Planner

    I find this the best planner for ease of use in finding the best fares in various situations. However I now find it frustrating the number of times -Oh no! There has been an error- occurs. Today when feeding in information for a 10am departure, where there are plenty trains operating before...

    STEAM UK WEBSITE

    This is a great website and has been for many years but for up to date information on railtours and loco movements I've noticed for a while it's no longer of any real help, eg. new tours very slow in being added or corrected, last light engine movements in May and loco whereabouts last updated...

    Glasgow to Doncaster tomorrow

    My son is travelling on a through Advance Ticket tomorrow from Glasgow Queen Street to Doncaster. There is of course no through train. Only the Edinburgh to Doncaster part shows on his ticket the allocated seat which he must use. He intends to travel through to Edinburgh on the 10.00 or...

    Tay Bridge's condition

    I note that locos 60163 and 60009 cannot now cross the Tay Bridge. The A1 Steam Loco Trust's reason for 60163 not crossing it this week (14th) refers to the bridge "in its present condition". Rightly or wrongly this suggests that the structure which has allowed Pacifics to cross it since...

    Virgin West Coast

    Booked 3 single tickets online from Glasgow to London for last Friday 19th departing 13 40. VWC says it gives third off discount when 3 or more travel together. Only 1 (with a railcard) got the third off. Should the other 2 have got the discount or is it train or time dependent?

    Train broke down

    My daughter was travelling on a local suburban service on Glasgow North electrics on a single ticket. The train in front broke down. At the station before the breakdown she was put off with everybody else with no comment about how to finish her paid-for journey. Seems to me this is worse...

    Able to sit in unreserved coach?

    Have bought an advance ticket for next Monday's 10 40 Virgin from Glasgow Central to Euston. I'm told by the booking clerk at Central that the reserved seat is for a seat in Coach B with no window (just a panel). However although my ticket refers to and is subject to a second reserved seat...

    Excess fare - Havant to Reading

    4 of us already have group off-peak singles for SWT's 10 50 Havant to Reading via Guildford this Sunday - 4 x £17.50 = £70. We now realise that we could well miss this train by a few minutes and may have to take the next quickest train to Reading, ie. 11 07 which does not permit group save...

    Arriving train late and meaning of next available train

    I will be travelling on a Trans-Pennine train to Manchester Piccadilly on Friday. I have also bought an Advance East Midlands ticket from Piccadilly to Sheffield as fare-splitting was cheaper. It allows me 15 minutes to change which should be ok since the arriving and departing trains are the...

    Ryde Esplanade Station & Wightlink

    Can a single Senior Citizen's Wightlink ferry ticket (£9.70) be bought here? If not, apart from online or top of Pier Head (a long walk?) where else on the IOW can it be bought in advance?
